EMERALD AWARD FINALIST – Community Group or Not-for-Profit Association: LargeOrganization
This year, AlbertaConservation Association (ACA) celebrates 20 years of conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish and wildlife populations and their habitat for Albertans to value, enjoy and use. While the core of their work in fisheries, wildlife and land has remained consistent, how they do their work has evolved over their two decades – from adopting drones and solar-powered off-site watering technologies to building positive long-term partnerships with landowners, municipalities and industry. With visionary leadership from a board consisting of leading conservation organizations in Alberta, ACA has grown into an organization with a clear sense of purpose and a drive to succeed. Looking forward to the next 20 years, they see new opportunities and plan to leverage the potential of conservation and carbon offsets as well as the ever-changing digital media landscape.

The Taber Pheasant Festival is just around the corner and is a highlight for many hunters who enjoy wing shooting. Efforts by the AlbertaConservationAssociation and other conservation groups are ensuring pheasant hunts are available beyond the Taber event and at the same time working towards improving pheasant habitat.

Adorableness alert! Remember this injured but irresistibly cute baby beaver that was rescued in Alberta back in 2016? Today, there was a happy ending to her story (and the story of her new partner!), thanks to the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation and the Ann and Sandy CrossConservation Area.

I believe there is a direct relationship between hunting/angling and conservation.
I think the argument that could be made to assert this assumption can be found in what has been happening in Taber, Alberta for the past number of years.
A collaborative approach with the AlbertaConservationAssociation the town of Taber along with other corporate and conservation groups host the Taber Pheasant festival. This event is extremely popular with hunters, some travel from out of province to participate, but has also resulted in tangible habitat improvements for pheasants.

This week I sit down with … well, rather I go fishing with Todd Zimmerling who has been at the helm of the AlbertaConservationAssociation for the past decade. We chat about the how and why the ACA was formed some 20-years ago.
Like any new association, there were growing pains as the ACA set about the task of working with some well-established conservation groups across the province. It was a massive undertaking, but the effort has paid off as the variety of projects undertaken by the ACA on behalf of all Albertans has resulted in, a greater understanding of our habitat and the wildlife and fish that call Alberta home.

Prussian Carp are becoming a severe threat to Alberta’s native fish populations.
Already confirmed in the Red Deer, SouthSaskatchewan & other southern Alberta water bodies, Prussian Carp appear to be expanding their range.
Determining where these fish are calling home has become somewhat of a CSI investigation.
The Alberta ConservationAssociation is sampling sites across the province to determine the range of the carp.
The Prussian Carp can adapt to just about any aquatic environment, add to this their unique spawning abilities and you would think we were dealing with some alien life form.
So bottom line, if you catch a Prussian Carp, take it home to eat, or dispose of the carcass properly.

ALBERTA, CANADA — A baby beaver who was rescued by an Canadian conservation center in 2016 and gained internet fame as the 'lonely beaver' is lonely no more, because she has found a new friend.
According to AlbertaInstitute for Wildlife Conservation, the 5-week-old baby beaver was found alone on a golf course in northwest Calgary with wounds on her tail. The beaver kit was admitted to the conservation center for recovery, where she has since stayed.
Netizens noticed the female rodent was living alone, they quickly nicknamed her "the lonely beaver."
However, things are about to change for the better. Earlier this year, a 2-year-old male beaver was admitted to the conservation center after he was found in a storm drain with a bite wound on his lower back.
As beavers live better when they have a companion, the conservation center decided to introduce the two to each other. According to their handlers, the two are now best friends, and since they haven't reached to the age for breeding yet, their relationship is purely platonic.
These two adorable beavers will be released together in June 2018. Since caring for wildlife is generally expensive, the conservation center has set up a GoFundMe for the pair's medical costs, which are expected to amount to $23,000.

The AlbertaConservationAssociation is working with ranchers, government and industry in southern Alberta to bring back native prairie grasses. Species-at-risk are being re-planted in collaboration with local ranchers. Pronghorn Antelope and Sage Grouse habitat is being restored to once again attract these important animals.

Alberta is bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the US state of Montana to the south. Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single US state and one of only two landlocked provinces. It has a predominantly Humid continental climate, but seasonal temperature average swings are smaller than to areas further east, with winters being warmed by occasional chinook winds bringing sudden warming which moderates average temperatures.

Alberta (Minister of Education) v Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency (Access Copyright), 2012 SCC 37, is a Supreme Court of Canada case that considered whether the photocopying of textbook excerpts by teachers, on their own initiative, to distribute to students as part of course materials is fair dealing pursuant to the provisions of the Copyright Act. The Supreme Court, in a 5/4 split, concluded that the Copyright Board made several errors in its analysis of the "fairness factors". Thus, it allowed the appeal and remitted the matter back to the Copyright Board for reconsideration.

Background and facts

Access Copyright represents authors and publishers of literary and artistic works. The entity administers the reproduction of such works by issuing licences and collecting and distributing royalties to affiliated copyright owners. When licensing or royalty agreements with users of the printed works cannot be reached, Access Copyright has the option to apply to the Copyright Board (the "Board") to certify a royalty in a form of a tariff.

Alberta (blues)

Alberta is the name of more than one traditional blues song.

Lead Belly song

Lead Belly recorded a song "Alberta" in four versions. One of these was recorded in New York on January 23, 1935 (for ARC Records, which did not issue it), and a similar version was recorded in New York on June 15, 1940 (included on Leadbelly: Complete Recorded Works, vol. 1, 1 April 1939 to 15 June 1940). Another version, recorded in Wilton, Connecticut, on January 20, 1935, included the lyrics "Take me, Alberta, take me down in your rocking chair" and is included on Gwine Dig a Hole to Put the Devil In (Rounder Records, Library of Congress Recordings, vol. 2). Lead Belly's fourth recorded version survives on recording disc BC-122 of the Mary Elizabeth Barnicle–Tillman Cadle Collection at East Tennessee State University, recorded near the date of June 15, 1948, with which several related discs are labeled.

Wheeler 1944 song

Mary Wheeler, in her Steamboatin' Days: Folk Songs of the River Packet Era (Baton Rouge, La.: Louisiana State University Press, 1944), records a song she collected from Gabriel "Uncle Gabe" Hester, with the lyrics:

Prussian carp

The Prussian carp, silver Prussian carp or Gibel carp (Carassius gibelio, sometimes Carassius gibelio gibelio and, before 2003, Carassius auratus gibelio), is a member of the family Cyprinidae, which includes many other fish, such as the common carp, and the smaller minnows. It is a medium-sized cyprinid, and does not exceed a weight of 6.6 pounds (3kg) and a size of 45cm. They are usually silver, although other color variations exist. They are omnivorous and feed on plankton, invertebrates, plant material and detritus. Originally from Asia (Siberia), they have been introduced to and are now inhabiting lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers throughout Europe, North America, and Asia.

Description

The Prussian carp is a deep-bodied, robust fish which resembles the Crucian carp (Carassius carassius) and grows to about 10 to 35cm (4 to 14in) in length. Its scales are larger than those of the Crucian carp, and it typically has 27 to 32 scales along the lateral line, whereas the Crucian carp usually has between 31 and 35. The species is silvery, sometimes with a faint golden tinge, while the Crucian carp has a burnished gold appearance. The Prussian carp's tail is more deeply forked than that of the Crucian carp.

Conservation

Conservation is the act of preserving, guarding or protecting; wise use.

Conservation may refer to:

Main usage:

Conservation (ethic) of biodiversity, environment, and natural resources, including protection and management

Other usage:

Conservation (cultural heritage) or Art conservation, protection and restoration of cultural heritage, including works of art and architecture, as well as archaeological and historical artifacts

Conservation law, measurable property of isolated physical system that does not change as the system evolves, including conservation of energy, mass, momentum, electric charge, subatomic particles, and fundamental symmetries

Conservation (psychology)

Conservation refers to a logical thinking ability which, according to the psychologistJean Piaget, is not present in children during the preoperational stage of their development at ages 2–7, but develops in the concrete operational stage at ages 7–11. Conservation refers to the ability to determine that a certain quantity will remain the same despite adjustment of the container, shape, or apparent size.

Tasks

Conservation tasks test a child’s ability to see that some properties are conserved or invariant after an object undergoes physical transformation. The following tasks also explain the different types of conservation. Piaget proposed that children's inability to conserve is due to weakness in the way children think during the preoperational stage (ages 4–5). This stage of cognitive development is characterized by children focusing on a single, salient dimension of height or length, while ignoring other important dimensions about a situation. Children during this stage also tend to focus on the static characteristics of objects, instead of focusing on when objects undergo changes, which is a critical element of the following tasks.

A local conservation law is usually expressed mathematically as a continuity equation, a partial differential equation which gives a relation between the amount of the quantity and the "transport" of that quantity. It states that the amount of the conserved quantity at a point or within a volume can only change by the amount of the quantity which flows in or out of the volume.

Prussian Carp are becoming a severe threat to Alberta’s native fish populations.
Already confirmed in the Red Deer, SouthSaskatchewan & other southern Alberta water bodies, Prussian Carp appear to be expanding their range.
Determining where these fish are calling home has become somewhat of a CSI investigation.
The Alberta ConservationAssociation is sampling sites across the province to determine the range of the carp.
The Prussian Carp can adapt to just about any aquatic environment, add to this their unique spawning abilities and you would think we were dealing with some alien life form.
So bottom line, if you catch a Prussian Carp, take it home to eat, or dispose of the carcass properly.

ALBERTA, CANADA — A baby beaver who was rescued by an Canadian conservation center in 2016 and gained internet fame as the 'lonely beaver' is lonely no more, because she has found a new friend.
According to AlbertaInstitute for Wildlife Conservation, the 5-week-old baby beaver was found alone on a golf course in northwest Calgary with wounds on her tail. The beaver kit was admitted to the conservation center for recovery, where she has since stayed.
Netizens noticed the female rodent was living alone, they quickly nicknamed her "the lonely beaver."
However, things are about to change for the better. Earlier this year, a 2-year-old male beaver was admitted to the conservation center after he was found in a storm drain with a bite wound on his lower back.
As beavers live better when they have a companion, the conservation center decided to introduce the two to each other. According to their handlers, the two are now best friends, and since they haven't reached to the age for breeding yet, their relationship is purely platonic.
These two adorable beavers will be released together in June 2018. Since caring for wildlife is generally expensive, the conservation center has set up a GoFundMe for the pair's medical costs, which are expected to amount to $23,000.

Alberta Conservation Association

EMERALD AWARD FINALIST – Community Group or Not-for-Profit Association: LargeOrganization
This year, AlbertaConservation Association (ACA) celebrates 20 years of conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish and wildlife populations and their habitat for Albertans to value, enjoy and use. While the core of their work in fisheries, wildlife and land has remained consistent, how they do their work has evolved over their two decades – from adopting drones and solar-powered off-site watering technologies to building positive long-term partnerships with landowners, municipalities and industry. With visionary leadership from a board consisting of leading conservation organizations in Alberta, ACA has grown into an organization with a clear sense of purpose and a drive to succeed. Looking forward to the next 20 years, they see new opportunities and plan to leverage the potential of conservation and carbon offsets as well as the ever-changing digital media landscape.

Pheasant hunting in Alberta

The Taber Pheasant Festival is just around the corner and is a highlight for many hunters who enjoy wing shooting. Efforts by the AlbertaConservationAssociation and other conservation groups are ensuring pheasant hunts are available beyond the Taber event and at the same time working towards improving pheasant habitat.

Adorable injured baby beaver rescued, rehabilitated and released in Alberta

Adorableness alert! Remember this injured but irresistibly cute baby beaver that was rescued in Alberta back in 2016? Today, there was a happy ending to her story (and the story of her new partner!), thanks to the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation and the Ann and Sandy CrossConservation Area.

How hunting supports conservation in Alberta, Canada

I believe there is a direct relationship between hunting/angling and conservation.
I think the argument that could be made to assert this assumption can be found in what has been happening in Taber, Alberta for the past number of years.
A collaborative approach with the AlbertaConservationAssociation the town of Taber along with other corporate and conservation groups host the Taber Pheasant festival. This event is extremely popular with hunters, some travel from out of province to participate, but has also resulted in tangible habitat improvements for pheasants.

ACA 20 years conserving Alberta's wild side

This week I sit down with … well, rather I go fishing with Todd Zimmerling who has been at the helm of the AlbertaConservationAssociation for the past decade. We chat about the how and why the ACA was formed some 20-years ago.
Like any new association, there were growing pains as the ACA set about the task of working with some well-established conservation groups across the province. It was a massive undertaking, but the effort has paid off as the variety of projects undertaken by the ACA on behalf of all Albertans has resulted in, a greater understanding of our habitat and the wildlife and fish that call Alberta home.

Conservation effort leads to an award for ACA

The AlbertaConservationAssociation is working with ranchers, government and industry in southern Alberta to bring back native prairie grasses. Species-at-risk are being re-planted in collaboration with local ranchers. Pronghorn Antelope and Sage Grouse habitat is being restored to once again attract these important animals.

Alberta is bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the US state of Montana to the south. Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single US state and one of only two landlocked provinces. It has a predominantly Humid continental climate, but seasonal temperature average swings are smaller than to areas further east, with winters being warmed by occasional chinook winds bringing sudden warming which moderates average temperatures.
